Andrew Harrison (Playwright)

Andrew Harrison was inspired to write The Future having witnessed at first hand rapid advances in medicine and molecular biology. He knows that it is difficult to write drama which is thought provoking, and that it is also difficult to write drama which is entertaining. He has tried very hard to both in The Future.
For pure entertainment you can watch his recent short film: No Imagination (It is 2 minutes long).
